-Quarterly reports and CHRIS reports are to be received by committee members 2 weeks prior to meetings, as stated in cooperative agreement. Reports should be mailed to members to avoid potential HIPPA violations. Reports should be faxed to Mr. Daye. Ms. Edwards has also asked that reports be faxed to her, rather than mailed, at 282-2990.
-Agencies who are not yet licensed will not have access to CHRIS.
-If a substitute attendee plans to participate in quarterly meetings, two copies of the cooperative agreement should be brought to meeting and signed by chair.
-General vacancy exists; candidates may not work or volunteer for agency.
-Advise employees that if applying for positions with other agencies that current agency’s documents should not be used as sample. This creates risk of HIPPA violations.
